Chapter 269: A Family Should Be United

  “No, I’m willing to inherit the Rakshasa God’s position.”

  Qian Renxue’s voice rang out in her mind, confident that Qin Xiao could hear her.

  With that, she stepped forward, joining Meng Yiran, Liu Erlong, and the others standing shoulder to shoulder.

  “Very well, as you wish,” Qin Xiao replied, nodding as he bestowed god positions upon the gathered individuals.

  In an instant, divine power surged through the square like a tidal wave, a force as overwhelming as mountains and seas.

  However, Qin Xiao’s attention shifted. His gaze turned to the far distance, his brows furrowing slightly as a cold light flickered in his eyes.

  “Those who ignore the path to heaven but barge into the gates of hell...”

  “Since you’ve come, let me give you a taste of these god positions. Consider it a contribution to today’s Godhood Ceremony.”

  Meanwhile

  Thousands of miles from Thunder Emperor City, three streaks of light descended from the heavens, trailing fiery tails like meteors.

  Yet, surprisingly, their nding caused no tremors or shockwaves—it was utterly silent.

  As the light dissipated, three figures stood tall on the earth.

  One was cd in blood-red armor, shrouded in cold, white mist that emanated an icy aura.

  The second wore a bck robe, his massive stature towering at nearly three meters, exuding an aura of destruction.

  The third figure, dressed in gray, appeared far less imposing than the others. Yet his features were strikingly handsome, almost bewitching, with a constant, sinister smile on his lips.

  There was no doubt about it—these were the God of Sughter, the God of Destruction, and the God of Evil.

  The God of Evil scanned the surroundings and commented, “The Douluo Star is truly unique. It seems birthing strong individuals at the level of divine officers here isn’t a challenge.”

  “Hmph, if this world weren’t so extraordinary, how could a monster like Qin Xiao emerge? Destroying the Asura God’s position to forge his own... Such bsphemy against the divine order. The God King of Destruction is right to want him eradicated,” the God of Sughter said coldly, his voice filled with killing intent.

  “To think the God of Kindness and the God of Wickedness actually negotiated with Qin Xiao and invited this camity into the God Realm. It’s like inviting a wolf into the fold,” he sneered.

  The God of Sughter’s tone was icy, exuding an unrelenting desire for vengeance. In his eyes, Qin Xiao’s defiance of the God Realm’s authority was a crime worthy of death. Only by utterly destroying him could the God Realm reassert its dominance.

  “Enough. Don’t get me started on this,” the God of Destruction growled, his voice booming with irritation.

  “The God of Kindness and the God of Wickedness had their spines broken long ago. After being terrified by the Dragon God countless years ago, they kneel to anyone stronger than them.

  “Since we’re here today, we’ll put Qin Xiao in his pce. We’ll demand terms so humiliating that even he will have to swallow his pride. Only then can I quench my rage.”

  “Well said.”

  “Agreed.”

  The God of Destruction’s proposal received immediate approval from the God of Sughter and the God of Evil.

  Concerned about their strength compared to Qin Xiao?

  Hardly.

  Even if the three of them were weaker than Qin Xiao, they had the backing of thousands of gods within the God of Destruction’s faction.

  If Qin Xiao wanted to cim rulership over the gods, he would have to accept their conditions.

  At least, that’s what they believed.

  But then...

  The faces of the God of Sughter, the God of Destruction, and the God of Evil changed dramatically.

  Far away, several towering beams of light shot into the sky.

  “What… is that? If I’m not mistaken, those aren’t ordinary beams of light—they’re pilrs of divine power!”

  The God of Destruction’s massive eyes widened in disbelief, his lips trembling.

  The God of Evil added, “If one person could make a mistake, two people wouldn’t. And since there are three of us… Gulp…”

  The God of Sughter swallowed hard and said gravely, “Yes, those are indeed divine power pilrs. Several people are receiving divine inheritances at the same time in this world.”

  “But... whose god positions are those?”

  All three gods were struck by the same question. How could so many god positions exist in one world, let alone be inherited simultaneously?

  Even after countless years as gods, they had never seen anything like this.

  Moments ter, they froze, utterly dumbfounded.

  They recognized the divine auras emanating from those pilrs.

  The God of Sughter, the God of Destruction, and the God of Evil stared at each other in disbelief as realization dawned.

  “These god positions... They belong to the God of Greed, the God of Gluttony, and the God of Wrath!”

  “No doubt about it. These are the positions of our lords!”

  “They’ve fallen… They’ve actually fallen!”

  A deafening silence engulfed them.

  Their minds roared with the sound of thunder as the reality of the situation hit them.

  Stunned.

  Utterly stunned.

  They had never imagined that the very gods they swore to follow had already perished.

  "No wonder we couldn’t find traces of our lords in any of the divine halls. They’ve already fallen!"

  "Damn it! This is absolutely unacceptable. The God of Kindness and the God of Destruction deceived us!"

  "What a grand scheme—pulling the wool over everyone’s eyes and taking over their positions! This is a colossal trap, and we walked right into it!"

  At this moment, the God of Sughter, the God of Destruction, and the God of Wickedness realized the truth: they, along with the other gods of the Divine Realm, had been thoroughly fooled.

  That so-called "thousand years of recovery" was nothing more than a deying tactic.

  If they waited for those inheriting the god positions to fully mature, it would be far too te—the situation would be irreparable.

  "Wait," the God of Wickedness said, his expression turning grim.

  "If the God of Greed, the God of Gluttony, and the God of Wrath have fallen, what about the others?"

  "Could it be... the supreme God King of Destruction and the God King of Life have also met their end?"

  The God of Wickedness’s voice trembled as he voiced the thought that chilled him to the core.

  If even the God King of Life and the God King of Destruction had perished without a sound, their entire divine system would be on the brink of colpse.

  "Don’t scare yourself!" the God of Destruction bellowed, trying to shake off the unease creeping into his own heart.

  Though the possibility had crossed his mind, he refused to entertain it.

  The God King of Life and the God King of Destruction were unparalleled in power—surely they could not fall so easily.

  The God of Sughter nodded in agreement. "Exactly. To uncover the truth, we simply need to confront Qin Xiao directly."

  The three quickly came to a consensus.

  The God of Sughter sliced through space, creating a passage. Without hesitation, the three gods stepped into it.

  Meanwhile

  At the edge of the Star Dou Forest, by the Lake of Life.

  Di Tian, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, Bear Lord, and the other soul beast rulers had also sensed the unusual energy emanating from the direction of Thunder Emperor City.

  Although their vision could not penetrate the vast distance, they could feel the overwhelming power even from miles away.

  It was immense—utterly extraordinary.

  The power was no longer of the mortal realm.

  At that moment, the entire Star Dou Forest, aside from the core area where these rulers resided, saw its weaker soul beasts—those under 50,000 years old—colpsing onto the ground, trembling and unable to move.

  "Master, has Qin Xiao really gained so many god positions? Is he truly this powerful?"

  Summoning his courage, Di Tian ventured to ask.

  "Hmph, this is nothing," Gu Yuena said with a faint smile.

  "He’s already sin two God Kings from the Divine Realm—the God King of Destruction and the God King of Life. What do you think?"

  "While he has created numerous gods, they are merely first-css god positions. The real spectacle is yet to come."

  Gu Yuena remained composed, her demeanor unshaken.

  Even she had to admit that Qin Xiao’s current strength surpassed her own in her prime.

  Though reluctant, she couldn’t help but silently acknowledge his superiority.

  Of course, this acknowledgment remained internal.

  As the Dragon God and the leader of all soul beasts, her pride would never allow her to bow to anyone.

  "Impossible..."

  Hearing Gu Yuena’s words, the soul beast rulers gasped in unison, their eyes wide with shock.

  Killing a first-css god was one thing, but defeating two God Kings? That was beyond imagination.

  Was Qin Xiao even human at this point?

  Di Tian, in particur, felt an overwhelming sense of inadequacy.

  Years ago, he had barely been able to trade a few blows with Qin Xiao.

  Of course, in retrospect, that was because Qin Xiao had been holding back. Otherwise, he would have been dead in an instant.

  Now?

  Di Tian figured Qin Xiao could blow him away with a single breath.

  For someone of Qin Xiao’s current stature, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

  "Hmph, so some fools dare to step onto the Douluo Continent uninvited?"

  Suddenly, Gu Yuena’s expression shifted. She frowned and let out a cold snort.

  As someone with the power of a God King, she constantly monitored the Douluo Continent’s happenings.

  The moment the God of Wickedness, the God of Sughter, and the God of Destruction arrived, Gu Yuena sensed their presence immediately.

  As for their intentions?

  Heh. Sneaking around wasn’t exactly a sign of goodwill.

  Her solution? Eradicate them.

  With this thought, Gu Yuena stood abruptly, her hands smming onto the armrests of her seat.

  However, after discerning the trio’s destination, Gu Yuena’s expression turned peculiar.

  Then, with a faint smile, she sat back down.

  “Forget it. If those fools want to throw their lives away by seeking out Qin Xiao, I won’t stop them. No need to dirty my hands.”

  Elsewhere

  In Thunder Emperor City, Qian Renxue, Meng Yiran, Liu Erlong, Dugu Yan, and others ascended into the sky, entering the final phase of condensing their divine rings.

  Everyone watched with bated breath.

  Four gods were about to be born at the same time. The thought alone was thrilling.

  But then, above Thunder Emperor City, a pitch-bck rift suddenly appeared.

  Three figures emerged from it.

  There was no mistaking them.

  They were the God of Sughter, the God of Wickedness, and the God of Destruction.

  Seeing the scene before them, their fury ignited.

  “Impudent!”

  “Divine inheritance is no trifling matter!”

  “Cease this immediately!”

  “Who are they?”

  “What do they want?”

  The sudden appearance of these three gods sent shockwaves through the crowd.

  Even Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi, and those who had already completed their divine inheritances—such as Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong—frowned deeply.

  It was evident that these visitors were not here with good intentions.

  “We said to stop the divine inheritance! Are you deaf?”

  The God of Destruction’s voice boomed like thunder, shaking the air.

  Furious, the God of Sughter waved his hand, unleashing a wave of killing intent as vast as the sea, surging toward the crowd.

  If they had remained in the Divine Realm, perhaps they could have ignored these happenings.

  But since they were here, they could not allow their lords’ god positions to be defiled.

  “Hmph.”

  Qin Xiao’s gaze sharpened, and he let out a cold snort.

  It was clear these three didn’t take him seriously.

  In fact, since their arrival, they hadn’t even spared him a proper gnce.

  Their actions were btantly provocative.

  As Qin Xiao snorted, the God of Sughter’s attack instantly crumbled into nothing.

  Moreover, the three gods felt an oppressive force suppressing their divine powers, locking them down within their own bodies.

  Even the surrounding space seemed to have become a prison.

  To the onlookers, the three gods appeared unchanged, but only they knew the truth: they were effectively caged.

  “You must be Qin Xiao?”

  The three finally turned their attention to the young man before them.

  The God of Destruction and the God of Wickedness immediately roared in outrage.

  “You have a lot of nerve, killing the God of Gluttony, the God of Greed, and the God of Wrath!”

  “Qin Xiao, you’ve committed a grave crime! The Divine Committee will not let this stand!”

  Qin Xiao raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “Do you not realize your current predicament? Aren’t you afraid?”

  The God of Destruction smirked. “Afraid of what? We have the support of the gods! You think you can rule the God of Destruction’s faction without our backing? Dream on.”

  Qin Xiao: “…”

  These fools really were delusional.

  “Actually, you’re not entirely wrong,” Qin Xiao said casually, pointing toward Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong. “But why don’t you take a closer look at them?”

  “Who are they?”

  The God of Destruction sneered disdainfully. “Even if the God of Kindness and the God of Evil descended, our stance wouldn’t change. Wait… They carry the aura of the God of Desire and the God of Sloth…”

  “Gasp…”

  “You killed them too?”

  The trio had focused entirely on the ongoing divine inheritances and had overlooked the extraordinary nature of the two women until Qin Xiao’s hint.

  TMD—they had already completed their divine inheritances!

  “Not quite,” Qin Xiao said, shaking his head. Then, he raised his hand.

  In his palm, another glowing sphere appeared.

  As he released the divine power within, the unmistakable aura of the God of Envy filled the air.

  “You… you…”

  The God of Destruction was too stunned to form coherent words.

  The God of Sughter’s eyelids twitched uncontrolbly, while the God of Wickedness couldn’t stop his mouth from trembling.

  Their hearts were thrown into chaos.

  Their leaders—all seven of the original gods of sin—were completely annihited!

  Qin Xiao ignored their shock, smiling faintly.

  “Surprised? Didn’t see this coming? A family should be united, after all…”

  “You really think you can use the rabble behind you to threaten me?”

  “Laughable.”

  He didn’t care whether the rest of the God of Destruction’s faction supported him or not.

  If necessary…

  He would simply kill them all.
